Individual and combined effects of dietary vitamin intake on cognitive function in elderly adults: the potential mediating role of serum neurofilament light chain levels.

Background: Vitamins are essential micronutrients for the prevention and treatment of neurodegenerative diseases. The objectives of the present study were to evaluate the association between dietary vitamin intake and cognitive function in elderly adults and to explore the potential impact of serum neurofilament light chain (NfL) concentration.

Methods: Data from 468 elderly individuals, including information on the dietary consumption of 10 vitamins, were used.
